The Official Gazette of Illinois published this article and photo on 12 November 2008 when the story promoted the idea that Obama was concerned about his constituents. The article said:
After congratulating President-elect Barack Obama on his Nov. 4 victory, Governor Rod Blagojevich now begins the difficult task of finding a replacement for Illinois’ Senate seat.
And the caption under the photo reads:
Governor Blagojevich confers with now President-elect Barack Obama.
The story has been scrubbed.
As reported earlier, a second KHQA story, originally published on 8 November, has also been scrubbed. That KHQA post confirmed that the 5 November meeting between Obama and Blagojevich took place.
